direction from starting of the motion to the end.
Well distance is the total lengh travelled but displacement is the distance from the starting point to the ending point(when you join the 2 points)
Displacement.
Displacement is more like the length of a rope that is pulled tight, since displacement is the direction from the starting point and the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point. The length of a coiled rope describes distance, since that is simply the length of the pah between two points.
The distance between the points.
distance
The shortest distance between any two points is called displacement.
distance is the measure of the length between two points where as displacement is the shortest distance between the points.
the shortest distance between two points.
displacement is the vector quantity and the distance is scalar quantity, displacement is the shortest distance between two points.
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
Shortest distance between the two particular points through which motion is occured.
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
Its the shortest distance between any two points or objects
Displacement includes the distance between the starting and ending points and the direction in which you travel.
When an object moves from point A to point B , its displacement is the straight line distance between those points. So, by definition, it is the shortest possible path. The object can certainly travel by a curved path from A to B so its actual distance traveled would be longer then its displacement. This would be true regardless of how much time it takes to travel the paths.
